Cross-site Scripting via uploaded assets
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-8jjh-j3c2-cjcv plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,166 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure

Description
Impact
HTML files crafted to look like images may be uploaded regardless of mime validation. This is only applicable on front-end forms using the "Forms" feature containing an assets field, or within the control panel which requires authentication.
Patches
It has been patched on 3.4.15 and 4.36.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for statamic/cms, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update statamic/cms to 3.4.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8jjh-j3c2-cjcv is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-8jjh-j3c2-cjcv can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-8jjh-j3c2-cjcv. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-8jjh-j3c2-cjcv in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-8jjh-j3c2-cjcv across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
